Xuantian Law Envoy

Chapter 189 Brother Xu, have you ever seen a ghost?
The small courtyard is lush with flowers and plants, and it seems that it is often trimmed by people.

Although it is not big, it can be regarded as a quiet environment, and it is indeed a good place for cultivation.

In addition, the Chen family buried an entire high-grade spiritual vein under the core area of ​​Taiwu Immortal City.

It makes the Chen family area in the city full of aura.

However, as soon as he entered the yard, Xu Qing felt a strange aura, cold, strange and dangerous.

Close your eyes and open them.

Xu Qing used her delusion-breaking spiritual eyes to slowly sweep across the entire courtyard.

Sure enough, in the seemingly ordinary small courtyard, there was a faint gray atmosphere spreading from the direction of the courtyard door towards the house.

The breath seemed to be the footsteps left by some kind of creature.

ghost?

Unlikely.

Taiwu Immortal City is a sacred place on earth, a blessed place and a cave to the sky.

Not to mention that there are many masters of the Chen family sitting here, and ordinary ghosts are not allowed to get close.

Not even a powerful demon dared to enter the Chen family in such a grand manner.

Xu Qing followed this breath into the house.

Looking around, the gray aura became more intense.

The layout of the whole house is very simple.

A sandalwood bed, a dark desk, a bronze incense burner, a few screens, and a bookshelf.

It looked like a scholar's room.

After scanning around, Xu Qing was sure that there was no trace of the "murderer" except for the gray aura.

And the objects in the house are also neatly arranged, without any movement or damage——

Huh?
Xu Qing thought for a moment suddenly, and hovered in the air before coming to the screen.

Looking closely at the screen, I saw an extremely fine scratch on the white canvas on the screen.

When you examine it carefully, you can feel a touch of gray on this scratch.

Other than that, there was nothing unusual in the house.

There is no smell or trace of fighting.

As for other details such as fingerprints, Xu Qing checked them carefully.

There are two types of fingerprints in the house, which are frequently interlaced, and they should be two people who often appear here.

The only oddity worth noting is the gray aura.

I don't know if others can see it.

Walking out of the house, Xu Qing came to the courtyard and saluted Chen Yu: "Deacon Chen, please tell me the details of Senior Chen Zhankong's death before I go to check the body."

After hearing this, Chen Yu nodded and smiled, "If you ask me these things, you might as well ask his wife. After all, I don't come here often, so I don't know much about his situation."

"Well, I'll take you to the mourning hall. You can ask their family members carefully, and they will cooperate with you."

"Okay, thank you Deacon Chen." Xu Qing said with a smile.

On the way to the mourning hall, Lian Zhen couldn't help asking Xu Qing via voice transmission if he had discovered anything.

Xu Qing explained the small traces found on the screen.

Not long after, Chen Yu also asked.

"I don't know if the law enforcement officers inspected the scene, but what did they find?"

Xu Qing smiled and shook her head: "Many senior members of the Chen family have already checked, so what new discoveries can I make? It's just a routine inspection."

Obviously found the details on the screen.

But Xu Qing replied that there was nothing unusual, which made Lian Zhen look at him involuntarily.

Is Xu Qing guarding against the Chen family?

Could it be that he suspected that Chen Zhankong was killed by the Chen family?

How can this be?

After arriving at the mourning hall.

Chen Yu explained the reason to many family members, and when they heard that Xu Qing wanted to check the corpse, everyone couldn't help frowning.

"Since everyone has concerns, let me ask some questions first. Let's discuss the matter of looking at the corpse later, how about it?"

Xu Qing thought for a while and took a step back.

Only then did Chen's widow nodded.

"Then Mrs. Chen will come first, Madam, please find a vacant room, let's sit down and talk."

Xu Qing said to a woman with the most outstanding looks among the many family members.

Then he looked at Yuqingzi and Wang Geng again: "I also invite you two to testify."

Chen Yu hurriedly asked: "Envoy, what about me?"

Xu Qing thought, stay where you are cool.

But he said: "The next questioning may be boring, if Deacon Chen wants to listen, then you can come along."

"If you don't want to listen in, just wait here."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the main hall with Mrs. Chen.

Chen Yu's face changed for a while, and finally gave up on listening, but chose to sit in the mourning hall and wait.

Lian Zhen thought about it, and didn't go at all, and chatted with Chen Yu casually.

In fact, he still has doubts about the scene in front of the door earlier.

Just keep an eye on this guy in case he messes up.

Ever since Xu Qing didn't tell the truth to Chen Yu, Lian Zhen became interested in this guy.

On the other side, after being led by his wife into the main hall and seated, Xu Qing smiled slightly, appearing very accommodating.

"Ma'am, there is no need to introduce myself too much," Xu Qing said first, "I know you are immersed in sadness, so let's make a long story short."

Mrs. Chen Zhankong's name is Wang Yuyan, and she is a member of a small Xiuzhen family near Taiwu Immortal City.

Xu Qing didn't know the rest.

"The reason why we came to investigate the cause of Senior Chen's death is because... we believe that there may be something wrong with his death, and it was not a natural death."

Hearing Xu Qing's words, this Mrs. Chen just nodded slightly, without showing the slightest surprise or shock.

This made Xu Qing raise his eyebrows.

If it wasn't for the alliance's intervention, what the Chen family announced to the public was that Chen Zhankong died for no reason, and he seemed to have died of madness.

But hearing Xu Qing's words, the lady was not surprised.

This showed that, to a certain extent, her performance proved Xu Qing and Yu Qingzi's guess.

"Well, it seems Madam is mentally prepared." Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.

Mrs. Chen didn't speak, but gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

After a while, he said: "I was the first to arrive at the scene, so I naturally know that he definitely did not die of natural causes."

Xu Qing nodded: "Then the first thing I want to ask is, did Senior Chen have any signs before he passed away?"

"Such as illness, old injury, or provoking a certain enemy, enemy, etc."

Mrs. Chen shook her head resolutely, obviously she didn't need to think about it at all: "No, he has always been in good health."

"As one of the commanders guarding Taiwu Immortal City, he has no enemies."

Xu Qing asked calmly: "In other words, he should have lived well?"

Mrs. Chen's eyes turned red suddenly, and she nodded softly: "Zhan Kong is kind and kind, and is recognized by the Chen family as easy to talk to."

"When he was young, because of practicing, he missed a lot of life. Since he broke into the spirit, he often spends the time of practicing to spend time with his family."

In this way, Mrs. Chen seemed to recall many things about her husband, and told them slowly in a low voice.

Xu Qing just listened and didn't interrupt her.

A qualified listener only needs to shut up and listen when others need it.

This is one of the surest ways to gain a person's trust.

Wang Geng and Yu Qingzi on the side didn't dare to disturb Xu Qing because they didn't know Xu Qing's thinking and questioning methods.

After about half a stick of incense, Madam Chen said to Xu Qing apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Messenger, I can't restrain my longing at this moment, and I said a lot of nonsense—"

Xu Qing interrupted her, and said softly: "Ma'am, don't be sorry, it's us who should be sorry."

"I'm really sorry for disturbing you at this time, and maybe even disturbing Senior Chen's peace."

Hearing Xu Qing's words, Mrs. Chen's favorability for him immediately soared.

The young man in front of him who looked similar to his son was really gentle, courteous, patient, and polite.

She couldn't help but think of her husband again, he was like this when he was young
"Madam, in this way, do you also think that there are other reasons for Senior Chen's death? Why? Why do you feel this way? Can you explain it to me carefully? When you entered the room, you watched What's up?"

Xu Qing asked softly, and at the same time picked up the teapot in front of her, made a pot of tea and handed it to Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen suddenly squeezed out a smile, but Tea shook her head and said, "There is no reason, I just have a simple feeling."

When she said this, her heart beat faster.

She is lying.

Xu Qing remained calm and continued to listen silently.

She seemed to be lost in memory again and whispered: "The day of the accident was seven days ago. That night he said that he would practice for a while, and he had a little understanding during the day."

"I didn't think much about it. Both of us are practitioners, but ten years ago we seldom practiced at night. Instead, we would rest together."

She forced a smile, with a morbid blush on her face: "He said that although ordinary people's days are short, they are exciting and happy enough."

"So. All in all, I didn't find him until midnight, so I got up and put on my clothes and went to the backyard to look for him."

"As a result... when I entered the room, I saw him sitting motionless in front of the screen."

Madam Chen's eyes immediately overflowed with tears.

She whispered in pain: "I couldn't wake him up, so I pushed him, but I didn't expect that as soon as he pushed, he fell down and lost his breath!"

"I was terrified at the time, so I quickly called the maid, Xiao Hua, and she was sure that Zhan Kong was dead, so I hurriedly invited the elders of the clan."

"It was finally determined that he was indeed dead."

"Later, two elders came from the clan, and after checking it out, they were also very puzzled about what happened."

Xu Qing frowned, carefully recalling the layout of the room, simulating the scene at that time.

"Does Senior Chen sit facing the desk, or sit with his back facing the desk?"

Xu Qing suddenly asked.

Mrs. Chen thought for a while: "Before he was in the case, the screen in that room was for appreciation, and it was placed by the wall alone. He was facing the window, and the screen was on the left."

Xu Qing closed her eyes and imagined for a while, then opened her eyes suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

The scratches on the screen were exactly where Chen Zhankong could reach when he raised his hand.

If he pointed like a sword and slanted his sword towards the screen, he could leave such a scratch!
Xu Qing's heart moved, and he suppressed the excitement and nodded: "Okay, madam, I have finished asking all my questions, you can go to rest."

"Senior brother, go and invite Xiaohua, the maid." He turned his head and said to Yu Qingzi.

Yu Qingzi obviously saw the slight change in Xu Qing's expression, and hurriedly got up and walked out.

Not long after Mrs. Chen left, a young girl in brocade came in nervously led by Yu Qingzi.

"Junior Hua Fanjin has met the Messenger!"

The girl clasped her fingers nervously and bowed.

Xu Qing hurriedly pulled a chair aside and said with a smile, "Sit down, sit down and talk, don't be nervous, I'll just ask random questions haha."

The girl looked up at Wang Geng who was at the side, saw Wang Geng nod slightly, and then sat down neatly.

Xu Qing handed over a cup of spiritual tea and said in a low voice: "This spiritual mist tea is very delicious, and it can activate blood and unblock the meridians, catalyze the circulation of spiritual power, and is most useful for refining Qi."

The girl glanced at Xu Qing in surprise, quickly took a sip from the teacup, and then said with bright eyes: "Thank you, Mr. Messenger!"

Just like that, Xu Qing directly left an easy-going and generous impression in the girl's heart.

"Don't be so polite, Mr. Messenger, it sounds awkward. I'm not a few years older than you, so just call me Brother Xu."

Xu Qing waved his hands and smiled.

Then the girl covered her mouth and smiled, jokingly said: "Brother Xu, you are much more kind than those arrogant emissaries."

Yu Qingzi on the side suddenly looked embarrassed.

The girl didn't know his identity, so he held back and said nothing.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qing laughed: "That's right, I just became this kind of envoy yesterday. It's my first time in office. I don't have much experience, so naturally I don't have much airs."

The girl suddenly asked curiously: "Brother Xu, what exactly are you here to investigate? I saw that Madam's eyes were red just now, are you here to investigate the cause of the master's death?!"

Xu Qing immediately lowered his voice, and said in a tone of "I already know a lot", "That's right, you are so smart, you guessed it right away."

"It seems that you also know that Madam should tell you? The changes of your master before he died."

The girl nodded mysteriously and said: "Of course, I am Madam's personal servant girl. Apart from Madam, I am the only one who can enter the master's yard!"

The faces of Yu Qingzi and Wang Geng on the side changed slightly, they didn't expect Xu Qing to use this method to get out of this silly girl's words.

But as she spoke, she seemed a little sad and said, "Master treats me like a daughter, and loves me as much as the young master, but I didn't expect that he, a big monk, would walk in front of me."

The girl burst into tears as she spoke.

Xu Qing nodded, and said seriously: "That's why we came here to investigate the cause of Senior Chen's death and avenge him!"

The girl suddenly raised her head and asked seriously: "Really? Those adults in the family don't even let people talk about it!"

Wang Geng on the side suddenly changed his face and was about to open his mouth, but suddenly felt that he couldn't open his mouth.

He was taken aback for a moment, but when Xiang raised his hand, he found that he was imprisoned in place and unable to move!

But when his face was full of astonishment, Yu Qingzi's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Wang Daoyou, now is the critical time for inquiry. I think there are some things that you should not say well."

Wang Geng felt a chill in his heart, and stared in shock at Yu Qingzi, who was sitting upright beside him.

Yuqingzi smiled slightly, as if nothing had happened.

Xu Qing knew all this well.

But he didn't pay attention, but focused on looking at the girl and asked: "Of course! It's only some members of the Chen family who don't let you tell the truth."

"But another group of people want to investigate and find out what happened."

"For example, the third elder of the Chen family, look, didn't she send this hidden guard to assist us?"

"If they don't want to know the truth, why should I be here?"

Hearing Xu Qing's words, the girl turned her head to look at Wang Geng, only to see him smiling at her, as if expressing affirmation.

Hua Fanjin immediately clenched her fists, took a deep breath, looked around carefully, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xu, have you ever seen a ghost? Master, he might have been killed by a ghost." !"

Suddenly, her face turned pale, and she pointed behind Xu Qing and said, "Look, it looks like the one behind you!"

Xu Qing suddenly felt cold all over, and suddenly turned his head to look behind him!
